Dark Justice vigilantes exposed Jennings who has been jailed for 22 months after reoffending

The Dark Justice member alleged: “He had what you would call a ‘little black book’ for children who he’d been grooming online to meet.

“He had stuff in there like ‘Amanda, 12, nice bald p****…

“He was a dangerous man. He met loads of children and nobody knew the extent of how far his abuse went.

“He wasn’t known by the police and that’s what gets you.

“You get told you’re a vigilante and you’re in it for the wrong reasons or you’re going to mess up a legal case. But no… these people haven’t even been on the police radar.

“What’s scary is that two young lads can just go out and do this and the police can’t.”

As it stands, Dark Justice aren’t planning on stopping their operations.

The paedophile catcher said: “At this point in time, it’s something that needs to continue, sadly.

“Now we’ve got an office and we’re stepping up the scale of our operations.

“We don’t plan on stopping anytime soon, we’ve started upping our game and changing what we do.

“It would be nice for the government to see us as a legitimate cause instead of just two idiots that are trying to do things for the right reasons.

“We’re doing this for the right reasons and the reasons are that we want change.”

What do the police think of vigilante groups like Dark Justice?

The Metropolitan Police Service told The Sun Online that they do not condone the actions of unofficial groups – as they could hinder investigations.

A spokesperson said: “The MPS does not support activities by individuals or groups to target suspected paedophiles.

“This type of action could jeopardise or interfere with ongoing investigations, and our advice to anyone who has information about suspected child sexual abuse – online or otherwise – is to contact police so it can be investigated and, where possible, bring people to justice.

“Revealing the identity of a potential suspect could give them the opportunity to destroy evidence before police become involved.

“It could also lead to individuals taking action in an attempt to evade police. This can divert significant policing resources which would be better invested in investigating and, where there is evidence, prosecuting individuals.

“Our advice to anyone who has concerns about online grooming, is they should report them to their local police, or to Crimestoppers. If you think a child is at immediate risk of harm call 999.”
